Holy Smoke Batman , he found our secret button that convert the batmobile to flying object!!!!

Just kidding, It's actually bypasses pressing brake pedal to release the gears... It usually for example if your illegally parked and towed, gear on neutral allow slack to scoop the car... DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THAT..

And again another good reason I visit this site alot for info. No key in right door was a good eyeopener also. Now I'll have to go out and play with that damm button in the dark.

I'm a little confused. What use would the shift lock have in everyday situations. Does it lock the gear shift so it can't be shifted out of park?
